a Find
Sunday, April 14th, 2013Found this thumbnail, and I really don’t know when I did it or where (or why!). Believe it or not, I usually have a fairly clear memory of creating all of my work, and that’s what makes this painting so intriguing (to me).
New York
Monday, April 8th, 2013About 10 years ago I spent a lot of time walking all around the city drawing just to draw. Here is one from that time.
Agia Paraskevi
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013is a church on the island of Crete, in Greece. I visited there and made this painting in 2008. A family member from that village is visiting this week and he reminded me of this piece.

Street Hockey
Sunday, March 3rd, 2013
is what I’ll be playing this morning. Yes, street. No ice, no skates. In fact, I’ve been playing on Sunday mornings for the last few years. Good exercise, competition, laughs.
Here is a ‘rejected’ sketch of some ICE hockey players I drew for an editorial job I worked on a few years ago. You can see the finished illustration here.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Animal Kingdom parade
Thursday, February 7th, 2013This is a reportage drawing made at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida last summer. There is nothing quite like letting the ink and pastels fly as you sweat in the summer sun…and it’s a beautiful, cultural parade too!
